Awful news. What a legend. Under-appreciated as one of the greatest American broadcasters. Has two of the greatest calls in sports history.
His call of the Jason Lezak relay win to secure Gold for Michael Phelps at the 2008 Olympics is an all-timer.
Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.

Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines were far and away the best pairing on any Olympic sport in the United States.
Their call of the United States' epic comeback in the 4x100 Free in Beijing will never be forgotten.
LA will not be the same without Dan Hicks. RIP.

We are saddened to hear about the passing of legendary broadcaster Dan Hicks.
His voice was the backdrop to many iconic Olympic moments in our sport’s history, and his presence will be greatly missed in the swim, sports, and broadcast communities.

Still irks me that Pope said “win banners” not “hang banners” in that first press conference

Golden State's Stephen Curry has an oblique abdominal tear and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Sumrall obviously understands the history of Kentucky vs Florida
Very smart of him to just start straight away with the backup QB
NEW: Florida is expected to start QB Aaron Philo over Tramell Jones against Kentucky, CBS reports.

Texas Tech lost to Cincinnati who is currently 12th in the Big 12.
Wake Forest’s best win is Louisville.
Kentucky has lost by 28 points IN TWO DIFFERENT GAMES THIS YEAR.
Their best win is 6-3 South Carolina by 1 point in overtime.
7-2 Kentucky, with that résumé, is ranked ahead of 8-1 Texas Tech (who has two ranked wins) and 8-1 Wake Forest (who has won five straight games by 24+ points).
The SEC rigging has to stop, or the sport won’t be around for much longer.

Carrick hasn’t been good enough but they never gave him the tools to succeed
Bro finished 3rd and they gave him 30 year old Tielemans, a Chelsea bench warmer and Baleba, bunch of clowns man

I'm so sorry Carras, you deserved so much better than this. These bastards couldn't even muster up a proper farewell message for him. They have genuinely sucked the entire soul out of this once great footballing institution.
